BON JOVI – Wembley Archives 85-95 (2022)

The Media Champ is releasing “Wembley Archives 85-95“, an album compiling several BON JOVI shows the band did in UK taken from different radio broadcast. Of course this is an unofficial release but really worth the addition into your collection as the sound quality is very good.
“Wembley Archives 85-95” was previously released however this 2022 has better mastering and the songs flow perfectly into each other.

RICHIE SAMBORA – Stranger In This Town Tour 1991 [master tapes]

Here’s the original, “Live 1991” untouched tapes as were used for FM radio back in the day. A very good show with an inspired Richie and a superb band including David Bryan, Tico Torres, Tony Levin (bass) and Dave Amato (guitar)…
